promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae's
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 5 hereof which has a
materially adverse effect on the interest of Funding in any Trust Student Loan.
In the event of such a material breach which is not curable by reinstatement of
the Guarantor's guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae shall
repurchase any affected Trust Student Loan not later than 120 days following the
earlier of the date of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt
of the Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student
Loan. In the event of such a material breach which is curable by reinstatement
of the Guarantor's guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, unless the material
breach shall have been cured within 360 days following the earlier of the date
of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the Guarantor
reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loan, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
shall purchase such Trust Student Loan not later than the sixtieth day following
the end of such 360-day period. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae shall also remit as provided in
Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement on the date of purchase of any Trust
Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6 an amount equal to all non-guaranteed
interest amounts and forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance
Payments with respect to such Trust Student Loan. In consideration of the
purchase of any such Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section
2.6 of the Administration Agreement.
In addition, if any breach of Section 5 hereof by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae does not
trigger such purchase obligation but does result in the refusal by a Guarantor
to guarantee all or a portion of the accrued interest (or any obligation of
Funding to repay such interest to a Guarantor), or the loss (including any
obligation of Funding to repay the Department) of Interest Subsidy Payments and
Special Allowance Payments, with respect to any Trust Student Loan affected by
such breach, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall reimburse Funding by remitting an amount
equal to the sum of all such non-guaranteed interest amounts and such forfeited
Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments in the manner specified
in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement not later than (i) the last day
of the next Collection Period ending not less than 60 days from the date of the
Guarantor's refusal to guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of
Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments, or (ii) in the case
where ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae reasonably believes such losses are likely to be collected, not
later than the last day of the next Collection Period ending not less than 360
days from the date of the Guarantor's refusal to guarantee all or a portion of
accrued interest or loss of Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance
Payments. At the time such payment is made, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall not be required to
reimburse Funding for interest that is then capitalized, however, such amounts
shall be reimbursed if the borrower subsequently defaults and such capitalized
interest is not paid by the Guarantor.
Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, if as of the
last Business Day of any month the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Trust Student Loans with respect to which claims have been filed with and
rejected by a Guarantor or with respect to which the Servicer determines that
claims cannot be filed pursuant to the Higher Education Act as a result of a
breach by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or the Servicer, exceeds 1% of the Pool Balance, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
(and the Servicer as provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall purchase, within
30 days of a written request of the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee, such affected Trust Student Loans in an aggregate principal amount such
that after such purchase the aggregate principal amount of such affected Trust
student Loans is less than 1% of the Pool Balance. The Trust Student Loans to be
purchased by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and the Servicer pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be based on the date of claim rejection (or the date of notice referred to
in the first sentence of this Section 6) with Trust Student Loans with the
earliest such date to be purchased first.
In lieu of repurchasing Trust Student Loans pursuant to this Section 6,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ may, at its option, substitute Eligible Loans or arrange for the
substitution of Eligible Loans which are substantially similar on an aggregate

3. school type,
4. total return,
5. principal balance, and
6. remaining term to maturity.
In addition, each substituted Eligible Loan will comply, as of the date of
substitution, with all of the representations and warranties made hereunder. In
choosing Eligible Loans to be substituted pursuant to this Section 6, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
shall make a reasonable determination that the Eligible Loans to be substituted
will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders.
In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae elects to substitute Eligible Loans pursuant
to this Section 6, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ will remit to the Administrator the amount of any
shortfall between the Purchase Amount of the substituted Eligible Loans and the
Purchase Amount of the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae shall also remit to the Administrator an amount equal to all
non-guaranteed interest amounts and forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and
Special Allowance Payments with respect to the Trust Student Loans in the manner
provided in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement. The sole remedy of

breach by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be to require ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae
to purchase Trust Student Loans, to reimburse Funding as provided above or to

obligations specifically undertaken by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae under this Purchase Agreement.
(i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Funding
and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity
and their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against
any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person
with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and in the other
Basic Documents (except any such income taxes arising out of fees
paid to the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee), including any sales,
gross receipts, general corporation, tangible and intangible personal
property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of Funding,
not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date

behalf of Funding, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Trust
Student Loans) and costs and expenses in defending against the same.
(ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Funding
and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity,
and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Funding, and the
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee from and against any and all costs,
expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of, or
imposed upon such Person through, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae's willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under
the Purchase Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under the Purchase Agreement.
(iii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Interim Eligible Lender
Trustee in its individual capacity and its officers, directors,

in connection with or relating to the Purchase Agreement, the other
Basic Documents, the acceptance or performance of the trusts and
duties set forth herein and in the Sale Agreement or the action or
the inaction of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee hereunder, except

obligation or liability: (a) shall be due to the willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee, (b) shall arise from any breach by
the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee of its covenants made under any
of the Basic Documents; or (c) shall arise from the breach by the
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee of any of its representations or
warranties made in its individual capacity set forth in these Master
Terms or any Purchase Agreement. In the event of any claim, action or
proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this
paragraph, the
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee's choice of legal counsel shall be
subject to the approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal
of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the termination of these Master
Terms, and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to
this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made
thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall
promptly repay such amounts to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, without interest.
SECTION 10. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇

which may result from any merger or consolidation to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall be a
party or (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae
substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ without the
execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to
this Purchase Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae hereby covenants
that it will not consummate any of the foregoing transactions except upon
satisfaction of the following: (i) the surviving Person, if other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇, executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Mae under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 5 shall have
been breached, (iii) the surviving Person, if other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, shall have
delivered to the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession
and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Purchase Agreement relating
to such transaction have been complied with, and that the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction (iv) if
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae is not the surviving entity, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall have delivered to the
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that,
in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation
statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are
necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of Funding and the Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee in the Loans and reciting the details of such filings,
or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interests.
SECTION 11. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇ MAE AND OTHERS
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and any director or officer or employee or agent thereof may
rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind,
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder (provided that such reliance shall not limit in any way ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Mae's obligations under Section 6). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall not be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental
to its obligations under these Master Terms or any Purchase Agreement, and that
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. Except as provided
herein, the repurchase (or substitution) and reimbursement obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Mae will constitute the sole remedy available to Funding for uncured breaches;
provided, however, that the information with respect to the Loans listed on the
▇▇▇▇ of Sale may be adjusted in the ordinary course of business
subsequent to the date of the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale and to the extent that the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Loans listed on the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale is less than the
aggregate Principal Balance stated on the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall remit
such amount to the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of Funding. Such
reconciliation payment shall be made from time to time but no less frequently
than semi-annually.
SECTION 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INTERIM ELIGIBLE LENDER
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, these Master
Terms and any Purchase Agreement have been signed by Chase Manhattan Bank USA,
National Association not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity
as Interim Eligible Lender Trustee for Funding and in no event shall Chase
Manhattan Bank USA, National Association in its individual capacity have any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of Funding, under these Master Terms or any Purchase Agreement or in
any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to
all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of Funding.
SECTION 13. EXPENSES
Except as otherwise provided herein, each party to these Master Terms or
any Purchase Agreement shall pay its own expense incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of these Master Terms and any Purchase
Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein or therein.
SECTION 14. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS/SUPERSESSION
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and
in or pursuant to any Purchase Agreements executed pursuant to these Master
Terms shall survive the consummation of the purchase of the Loans provided for
in each Purchase Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made or furnished pursuant hereto by or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ shall
bind and inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of Funding and shall
survive with respect to each Loan. Each Purchase Agreement supersedes all
previous agreements and understandings between Funding and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae with
respect to the subject matter thereof. These Master Terms and any Purchase
Agreement may be changed, modified or discharged, and any rights or obligations
hereunder may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by a duly
authorized officer of the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver,
change, modification or discharge is sought. The waiver by Funding of any
covenant, agreement, representation or warranty required to be made or furnished
by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or the waiver by Funding of any provision herein contained or
contained in any Purchase Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
breach of any other covenant, agreement, representation, warranty or provision
herein contained, nor shall any waiver or any custom or practice which may
evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof or of any
Purchase Agreement, be construed to lessen the right of Funding to insist upon
the performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae in strict accordance with said terms.
SECTION 15. COMMUNICATION AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
All communications, notices and approvals provided for hereunder shall be
in writing and mailed or delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or Funding, as the case may be,
addressed as set forth in the Purchase Agreement or at such other address as
either party may hereafter designate by notice to the other party. Notice given
in any such communication, mailed to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or Funding by appropriately
addressed registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given on the day
following the date of such mailing.
SECTION 16. FORM OF INSTRUMENTS
All instruments and documents delivered in connection with these Master
Terms and any Purchase Agreement, and all proceedings to be taken in connection
with these Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement and the transactions
contemplated herein and therein, shall be in a form as set forth in the
attachments hereto, and Funding shall have received copies of such documents as
it or its counsel shall reasonably request in connection therewith. Any
instrument or document which is substantially in the same form as an Attachment
hereto or a recital herein will be deemed to be satisfactory as to form.
SECTION 17. AMENDMENT
These Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement may be amended by the parties
thereto without the consent of the related Noteholders for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of such Master Terms and Purchase Agreements or of modifying in any manner the
rights of such Noteholders; provided that such action will not, in the opinion
of counsel satisfactory to the related Indenture Trustee, materially and
adversely affect the interest of any such Noteholder.
In addition, these Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement may also be
amended from time to time by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and
Funding, with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of these Master
Terms or any Purchase Agreements or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or
reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the time of,
collections of payments with respect to Loans or distributions that shall be
required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Noteholders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all
outstanding Noteholders.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent (or, in the
case of the Rating Agencies, five Business Days prior thereto), the Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of
such amendment or consent to the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating
Agencies.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant to this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Prior to the execution of any amendment to these Master Terms, the Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel stating that execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by
this Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 7.1 I(i) of the
Administration Agreement. The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement
or otherwise.
SECTION 18. NONPETITION COVENANTS
Notwithstanding any prior termination of these Master Terms ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and
the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise
invoke or cause Funding to invoke the process of any court or government
authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against Funding
under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignees, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of Funding or any substantial part of its property, or ordering
the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Funding.
SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW
These Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement shall be government by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference
to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of
the parties, hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused these Master Terms to be
duly executed by their respective officers hereunto duly authorized, as of the
day and year first above written.
